  • The neutron induced nuclear data for Pr-141, Nd-143, Nd-145, Sm-147 and Sm-149 were calculated and evaluated from 10 keV to 20 MeV. The energy dependent optical model potential parameters were extracted based on the recent experimental data and applied up to 20 MeV. The s-wave strength function was calculated. Spherical optical model , statistical model in equilibrium energy, multistep direct and multistep compound model in pre-equilibrium energy and direct capture model were introduced in Empire calculation. The theoretically calculated cross sections were compared with the experimental data and the evaluated files. The model calculated total and capture cross sections were in good agreement with the reference experimental data. The capture cross sections in pre-equilibrium were enhanced in recent released Empire version. The evaluated cross section results were compiled to ENDF-6 format and will improve the ENDF/B-Vl.

  • Boron neutron capture therapy is a precision treatment technology that selectively destroys only tumor cells by irradiating thermal neutrons after accumulating boron drugs in tumor cells. Brain tumor is difficult to diagnose and treat due to the low permeability and targeting of drugs caused by the blood-brain-barrier. Crossing the BBB is essential for drug delivery to the brain. In this study, we designed and synthesized a novel compound incorporating benzothiazole to develop a boron drug with high BBB permeability and selectivity for brain tumor cells. In addition, their potential as a BNCT drugs was evaluated.

  • 교토대학 원자로실험소의 46-MeV 전자선형가속구를 이용하여 $^{99}Tc$의 중성자포획단면적을 중성자에너지 0.007 eV에서 47 keV에 걸쳐 중성자 비행시간법을 이용하여 측정을 하였다. 이 중성자포획 결과는 $^{10}B(n,\gamma)$반응의 중성자 반응 단면적에 상대적으로 얻어졌다. 얻어진 결과를 확인하기 위해서 교토대학 원자로실험소의 납감속장치를 이용한 결과를 확인하였다. TOF방법으로 얻어진 결과는 0.0253 eV에서의 결과(20.01 b)에 규격화되었다. 기존의 실험결과들과 평가결과들인 ENDF/B-VI, JENDL-3.2, and JEF-2.2은 본 연구에서 TOF와 납감속장치로 얻어진 결과들과 비교 및 검토하였다.

  • We present elemental abundances of 12 red giants obtained with the BOAO 1.8m telescope and its fiber-fed echelle spectrograph. We perform the abundance analysis using the Kurucz model atmosphere and MOOG. Comparisons of our alpha- and neutron-capture elemental abundances and those in globular clusters and nearby dwarf galaxies will be presented.

  • Great interest has prompted Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) as a new treatment for brain tumors. The use of $^{252}$Cf as a neutron source for BNn makes the in-hospital treatments of tumors to be possible. Newly proposed subcritical multiplying assemblies (SMA) are explored to improve relatively tow neutron fluxes of the source and construct the feasibilities of $^{252}$Cf as a neutron source. The MCNP code has been used to evaluate the effective multiplication factor of the entire system and the intensities and percentages of epithermal neutron flux at the patient-end surface of the system. The neutron beam using SMA shows the epithermal neutron flux enhancement of about 13 times as large as the beam without using SMA. It is expected that the neutron beam proposed in this research will be more effective for treatment of tumors due to the increased therapeutic neutron fluxes.
